Astrology gardens

I have been doing moveable gardens since 1990. Depending on the time of year and availability, I can do astrology gardens for celebrations and conferences. All the plants are in pots, so no damage is done to the ground. I have a stock of plants - of small trees, herbs and flowers.

There are many designs from quite large astrology gardens to smaller ones. You can have your own birth chart on the ground or a joint birth chart for couples in the shape of a chart wheel. I can design astrological medicinal herb gardens using medieval chart form shapes. There are many possibilities.

I can also help you design a permanent astrology garden.

Nakshatra Garden (Moon’s Lunar Mansions), Astrological Association Conference, 2005, York University
The design is of the 27 shrines of the Vedic (Hindu) lunar mansions (Nakshatras), showing the Moon’s path on its monthly orbit around the Earth.  The Nakshatras were the 27 immortal daughters of the Maker of the World, all of whom were married to the Moon God, Chandra.  He would visit his wives in turn, but became too fond of his 4th wife, Rohini, making the other daughters upset.  They complained to their father who promised them that Chandra would fall ill and die.  Chandra then became sick and waned, but the daughters began to feel sorry for him, so Chandra was healed by the World Maker for some of the time only to fall ill again.  This is why the Moon waxes and wanes. (Source of myth:  Mansions of the Moon, by Kenneth Johnson).  Each Nakshatra has a deity assigned to it, a totem and a ‘gana’ and each ‘gana’ is either divine, human or demonic.  In this garden the themes are multi-cultural and the world’s major religions are represented
